Can Lagerstroemia indica be grafted with Jiabao fruit?

Jiabao fruit is not suitable for grafting with Lagerstroemia indica for the following reasons: Jiabao fruit and Lagerstroemia indica have certain differences in the induction of plant families and genera. Although they all belong to Myrtaceae, there are still some differences.

Lagerstroemia speciosa belongs to Lagerstroemia of Myrtaceae. Jiabao fruit belongs to Myrtaceae, Myrtaceae and Prunus. These two plants are similar in subject matter, but they are two different plants in family and genus.

When different kinds of plants are grafted with each other, many of them have poor affinity, that is, the wound is difficult to heal after grafting, so the survival rate is very low.

The most important thing is that this tree species, Garbo Fruit, itself has the problems of great grafting difficulty and low survival rate, and there will also be the problem of grafting survival rate with other tree species.

I have seen a saying before that Jiabao fruits should be grafted under the trunk, and the branches are 5cm below their trunk. If it is a perennial fruit, it is impossible to change their varieties with high grafting of other fruit trees. The reason is that Jiabao fruit grows on trunks and branches.

For this statement, I personally think it is highly credible, because if you are in a high position when grafting, with the continuous growth of tree age, the trunk of Jiabao fruit will continue to grow in the future, and their fruits are still in the original trunk and belong to rootstocks.

Therefore, if you want to graft, I personally think you should do it while you are young. If you just want to harvest the fruit in advance, there is no need to graft.

To sum up, the genetic relationship between Lagerstroemia indica and Jiabao fruit tree is not very close, and Jiabao fruit itself is also a kind of tree species that is not easy to graft. Personally, I think the survival rate of grafting is not optimistic. Jiabao fruit is more suitable for grafting with other varieties belonging to the same genus, and the survival rate is relatively high.
